Susan Forward helps you identify and correct an intensely destructive and confusing pattern of relating with those you love. I highly recommend this important book! —Susan Jeffers, Ph.D., author of  Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you really loved me...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter all I've done for you...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHow can you be so selfish...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDo any of the above sound familiar? They're all examples of emotional blackmail, a powerful form of manipulation in which people close to us threaten to punish us for not doing what they want. Emotional blackmailers know how much we value our relationships with them. They know our vulnerabilities and our deepest secrets. They are our mothers, our partners, our bosses and coworkers, our friends and our lovers. And no matter how much they care about us, they use this intimate knowledge to give themselves the payoff they want: our compliance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSusan Forward knows what pushes our hot buttons. Just as John Gray illuminates the communications gap between the sexes in  Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus,  and Harriet Lerner describes an intricate dynamic in  The Dance of Anger,  so Susan Forward presents the anatomy of a relationship damaged by manipulation, and gives readers an arsenal of tools to fight back.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":67975469826084,"sku":"YSL63657","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/2614\/7620\/files\/710MF0p6-tL._SY1500.jpg?v=1793607147","url":"https:\/\/booktavero.com\/products\/b07dhlcky1","provider":"BookTavero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
